The DLC adds 4 offline modes in total: Marathon, the traditional single-player Tetris mode where play continues until the stack reaches the top of the well CPU Battle, where players battle 98 bot players Local Arena, where up to eight Nintendo Switch players play in the same arena via local wireless and Two Player Share Battle, where two players share Joy-Con and play the same game in local co-op.

At the end of a game, players will earn experience that will increase their level.

The more badges a player completes and possesses, the more lines they can send to other players at a time (up to a 100% boost). Badges are earned by knocking out a player with garbage (or gray lines), which earns them a piece of a badge, along with any other badges or pieces that player had. Players can either choose to target individual players, or have the computer automatically target other players based on one of four criteria: random players, those who are targeting the player, those who are close to being defeated, and those who possess badges. ĭuring gameplay, small grids representing the other 98 players are displayed at the sides of the main board. More garbage can be sent by completing combination moves in succession of making a "tetris" (matching 4 lines at once) or performing a "T-spin" (squeezing the T-shaped tetromino into a position it would otherwise not fall into by rapidly rotating it). By clearing multiple lines or performing continuous line clears in a row, players can send "garbage" to other players, which will appear on their board unless they can quickly clear lines in response. As with modern Tetris rules, players have the option to store a tetromino piece to swap out at any time. Players can clear tetrominoes by completing rows across both sides, whereas players will lose if tetrominoes overflow off the top of the board. As with the traditional Tetris formula, players rotate and drop shaped bricks known as tetrominoes onto a board. Tetris 99 is a multiplayer puzzle game in which 99 players play against each other at the same time, with the aim to be the last player remaining.

It received favorable reception from critics, has been nominated for several awards, and has been played by over 2 million players. Paid downloadable content and a physical edition have released subsequently.
